  Monday, 4 September 1967 
  Marine Lance Corporal Jack Swan crested the face of a bare, rocky knoll in 
  the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. Following Swan were the 164 Marines of 
  Mike Company, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division. Their 
  mission was to locate and rescue two understrength and isolated companies 
  of felow Marines who were under attack by the North Vietnamese Armv 
  The sight of a quiet and serene rice paddy and shrub covered valley greeted 
  Swan. Too serene, he thought, as he caught sight of a trembling bush. "I think 
  I just saw that bush move!" he shouted. "If it moves again, shoot it!" his squad 
  leader commanded he bush moved Swan hired. and the hush went down 
  Then hell on earth broke loose. 
  Rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 fire, mortars, and machine guns engulfed 
  the exposed Marines. The vaunted 2nd NVA Division, six thousand, five hundred 
  men strong and expertly camouflaged, had sprung their well-laid trap. 
  Instead of coming to the rescue of their embattled comrades, it was now the 
  men of Mike 3/5 who were about to be annihilated. Burdened with a rifle, the 
  M16, that would often malfunction, how could they hope to beat back a vastly 
  superior foe bent on their destruction? 
  Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, would any of the men of Mike 3/5 survive?

  A new concept for understanding the history of the American popular music industry. 
   
   
    
  Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "Blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States arose out of slavery and blackface. 
   
   
    
  Blacksound as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake—for creators and audiences alike—in revisiting the long history of American popular music.
